1As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth.
1 Amoon na fu Yeesu jaaroon, gis fa waa ju judduwaale gumba.
2His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”
2 Taalibeem ya laaj ko ne: «Kilifa gi, lu tax waa jii judduwaale gumba? Ndax bàkkaaram a ko waral, walla bu waajuram?»
3Jesus answered, “Neither did this man sin, nor his parents; but, that the works of God might be revealed in him.
3 Yeesu tontu ne: «Ajuwul ci bàkkaaram walla ci bu waajuram. Waaye loolu dafa am, ngir jëfi Yàlla yi feeñ ci moom.
4 I must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work.
4 Bëccëg lanu war a matal jëfi ki ma yónni; guddi dina ñëwi, goo xam ne kenn du ci man a liggéey.
5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
5 Ci bi may nekk àddina, maay leeru àddina.»
6When he had said this, he spat on the ground, made mud with the saliva, anointed the blind man’s eyes with the mud,
6 Bi Yeesu waxee loolu ba noppi, dafa daldi tifli, jaxase lor wa ak ban, tay ko ci bëti gumba ga ne ko:
7and said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So he went away, washed, and came back seeing.
7 «Demal sëlmu ci bëtu Silowe.» Silowe mi ngi tekki «Yónni nañu ko.» Gumba ga daldi dem sëlmuji, dellusi di gis.
8The neighbors therefore, and those who saw that he was blind before, said, “Isn’t this he who sat and begged?”
8 Dëkkandoom yi ak ñi ko xame woon bu jëkk ci yelwaan naan: «Xanaa du kii moo daan toog, di yelwaan?»
9Others were saying, “It is he.” Still others were saying, “He looks like him.” He said, “I am he.”
9 Ñii naan: «Moom la de!» Ñee naan: «Du moom! Dañoo niroo rekk.» Mu daldi leen ne: «Man la de!»
10They therefore were asking him, “How were your eyes opened?”
10 Ñu ne ko: «Lu ubbi say bët?»
11He answered, “A man called Jesus made mud, anointed my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash.’ So I went away and washed, and I received sight.”
11 Mu tontu ne: «Ku ñuy wax Yeesu moo tooyal ban, tay ko ci samay bët, ne ma: “Demal sëlmu ci bëtu Silowe.” Ma dem nag sëlmuji, daldi gis.»
12Then they asked him, “Where is he?” He said, “I don’t know.”
12 Ñu ne ko: «Ana waa ji?» Mu ne leen: «Xawma fu mu nekk.»
13They brought him who had been blind to the Pharisees.
13 Noonu ñu daldi indil Farisen yi nit ki gumba woon.
14It was a Sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.
14 Ndekete Yeesu, bés bi mu tooyale ban, ubbi bëti gumba ga, bésu noflaay la woon.
15Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. He said to them, “He put mud on my eyes, I washed, and I see.”
15 Looloo tax Farisen ya di laajaat waa ja fi mu jaar bay gis léegi. Mu ne leen: «Dafa tay ban ci samay bët, ma sëlmuji, ba fi ma nekk maa ngi gis.»
16Some therefore of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, because he doesn’t keep the Sabbath.” Others said, “How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” There was division among them.
16 Ci noonu am ca Farisen ya ñu naan: «Ki def lii, mënul a jóge ca Yàlla, ndaxte toppul ndigalu bésu noflaay bi.» Ñeneen it di wax ne: «Nan la boroom bàkkaar man a wonee yii firnde?» Noonu ñu daldi féewaloo ci seen biir.
17Therefore they asked the blind man again, “What do you say about him, because he opened your eyes?” He said, “He is a prophet.”
17 Farisen ya laajaat ka gumba woon ne ko: «Yaw, loo wax ci moom? Yaw de la ubbil say bët.» Mu ne leen: «Yonent la.»
18The Jews therefore did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him who had received his sight,
18 Yawut ya mënuñu woon a nangu ne, nit ka dafa gumba woon tey gis léegi, ñu daldi wooluji ay waajuram,
19and asked them, “Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? How then does he now see?”
19 laaj leen ne: «Ndax kii mooy seen doom, ji ngeen ne, gumba judduwaale la? Kon fu mu jaar, bay gis léegi?»
20His parents answered them, “We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
20 Waajur ya tontu ne: «Xam nanu ne daal, sunu doom la te dafa judduwaale gumba.
21but how he now sees, we don’t know; or who opened his eyes, we don’t know. He is of age. Ask him. He will speak for himself.”
21 Waaye ni mu def léegi bay gis, xamunu ko, te xamunu it ki ko ubbil ay bëtam. Laajleen ko; magum jëmm la, te man na tontul boppam.»
22His parents said these things because they feared the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that if any man would confess him as Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue.
22 Ragal Yawut ya nag moo taxoon waajuri nit ka waxe noonu, ndaxte Yawut ya dañoo mànkoo woon ne, képp ku seede ne Yeesu mooy Almasi bi, ñu dàq la ca jàngu ba.
23Therefore his parents said, “He is of age. Ask him.”
23 Looloo tax waajur ya ne: «Laajleen ko; magum jëmm la.»
24So they called the man who was blind a second time, and said to him, “Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.”
24 Farisen ya dellu woowaat ka gumba woon ne ko: «Waxal sa digganteek Yàlla. Xam nanu ne, waa joojee boroom bàkkaar la.»
25He therefore answered, “I don’t know if he is a sinner. One thing I do know: that though I was blind, now I see.”
25 Mu tontu ne: «Xawma ndax boroom bàkkaar la am déet. Li ma xam daal mooy gumba woon naa, te léegi maa ngi gis.»
26They said to him again, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”
26 Ñu laaj ko ne: «Lu mu la def? Nu mu la ubbile say bët?»
27He answered them, “I told you already, and you didn’t listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don’t also want to become his disciples, do you?”
27 Mu ne leen: «Wax naa leen ko ba noppi, waaye dégluwuleen ma. Lu ngeen bëgg ci ma di ko wax, di waxaat? Xanaa dangeen a bëgg a nekk yéen itam ay taalibeem?»
28They insulted him and said, “You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
28 Ci kaw loolu ñu daldi ko saaga ne ko: «Yaw yaay taalibeem. Nun, taalibey Musaa lanu.
29We know that God has spoken to Moses. But as for this man, we don’t know where he comes from.”
29 Xam nanu ne, Yàlla wax na ak Musaa; waaye kii, xamunu sax fu mu jóge.»
30The man answered them, “How amazing! You don’t know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.
30 Waa ja ne leen: «Loolu de, doy na waar! Xamuleen fu mu jóge, te moo ubbi samay bët!
31We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshipper of God, and does his will, he listens to him. Psalm 66:18, Proverbs 15:29; 28:9
31 Xam nanu ne, Yàlla du déglu boroom bàkkaar. Waaye nag, dina déglu ki koy ragal tey def coobareem.
32Since the world began it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of someone born blind.
32 Bi àddina sosoo ba tey, musuñoo dégg nit ku ubbi bëti gumbag judduwaale.
33If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.”
33 Kon nit kookee nag, bu jógewul woon ca Yàlla, du man a def dara.»
34They answered him, “You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us?” They threw him out.
34 Ñu tontu ko ne: «Yaw, ci biir bàkkaar nga juddoo, ba noppi di nu jàngal?» Noonu ñu dàq ko ca jàngu ba.
35Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and finding him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of God?”
35 Yeesu daldi yég ne, dàq nañu nit ka. Bi mu dajeek moom, mu ne ko: «Ndax gëm nga Doomu nit ki?»
36He answered, “Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?”
36 Waa ja ne ko: «Wax ma mooy kan, Sang bi, ba ma man koo gëm.»
37Jesus said to him, “You have both seen him, and it is he who speaks with you.”
37 Yeesu ne ko: «Gis nga ko ba noppi, te mooy kiy wax ak yaw.»
38He said, “Lord, I believe!” and he worshiped him.
38 Waa ja ne: «Boroom bi, gëm naa la.» Noonu mu jaamu Yeesu.
39Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment, that those who don’t see may see; and that those who see may become blind.”
39 Yeesu ne ko: «Àttee ma tax a ñëw àddina, ngir ñi gumba gis, ñiy gis gumba.»
40Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him, “Are we also blind?”
40 Bi Farisen ya nekkoon ak moom déggee loolu, ñu ne ko: «Xanaa kon nun it danoo gumba?»
41Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remains.
41 Yeesu tontu leen ne: «Bu ngeen gumba woon, dungeen am bàkkaar, waaye fi ak yéena ngi naan: “Nu ngi gis,” ci bàkkaar ngeen di dëkk.
